Duration: 1245 days
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Version
Psalm 119:97-104

Mem

97 How I (A)love Your Law!
It is my (B)meditation all the day.
98 Your (C)commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever [a]mine.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my (D)meditation.
100 I understand (E)more than those who are old,
Because I have (F)complied with Your precepts.
101 I have (G)restrained my feet from every evil way,
So that I may keep Your word.
102 I have not (H)turned aside from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
103 How (I)sweet are Your [b]words to my [c]taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 From Your precepts I (J)get understanding;
Therefore I (K)hate every false way.

(M)His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

Disciples’ Relation to the World

18 “(E)If the world hates you, [a]you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but (F)I chose you out of the world, (G)because of this the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘(H)A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, (I)they will persecute you as well; if they (J)followed My word, they will follow yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you (K)on account of My name, (L)because they do not know the One who sent Me. 22 (M)If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have [b]sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 The one who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 (N)If I had not done among them (O)the works which no one else did, they would not have [c]sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. 25 But this has happened so that the word that is written in their (P)Law will be fulfilled: ‘(Q)They hated Me for no reason.’
